I interrupt my NY posts to make a special announcement

My friend, Natalie Whipple has an agent! The Nathan Bransford. If you're not a writer it might be hard to appreciate how big of an accomplishment this is. Let's just say there are three major steps in getting a book into the bookstores for all to read.

First step: Write a book. Second step: Land an agent. Third step: Land a publisher.

The second step helps you with the third step. In fact, it's nearly impossible to do the third step, without the second. Soooo, if you have a minute, hop on over to Natalie's blog and give her a much deserved congratulations. I just happen to be one of the few who have read all her books (I state smugly) and I know she has earned this. I couldn't be happier that this has finally happened for Natalie. This girl is full of creative genius and she's a super supportive and amazing friend to her fellow writers as well.
